All over the park, which opened in 2010, are reminders that there used to be fruit trees all over the landscape: Instead of steps, there’s a stack of lemon crates. There’s also a lemon stand (5 cents!).The only drawback to Citrus Ranch is that there’s not much shade. But drive 2.2 miles east up Jamboree Road and you’ll find a delightful complement.

A lot of thought went into Pioneer Road Park, from the metal cowboy sculpture at the entrance to the rock seating area that will entice young climbers. There’s also a water-play area, open through the end of September.
